This is the Night of Power they say the devout ones speak of tonight: Ghazal 31 by Hafez
Description: English Translation
This is the Night of Power they say the devout ones speak of tonight,
O Lord, in which celestial sphere does this influence reside?
So that the unworthy hands may reach less to your hair,
Every heart is engaged in the remembrance of God.
I am killed by the well of your dimples, from every side
A hundred thousand necks of my life are beneath the collar of your necklace.
My king, whose face is the mirror of the moon,
The dust of the steed's hoof is the crown of the exalted sun.
See the effect of temperament on his cheek, for the hot sun
Has a fever every day as long as that sweat is there.
I will not abandon my beloved's ruby lips and the cup of wine,
Exempt the ascetics, for this is my religion.
At the moment when they saddle the wind,
Like Solomon, I will ride it, though I am a mere ant as a mount.
He who shoots an arrow into my heart with a glance,
The strength of Hafez's life is in his under-lip smile.
The water of life drips from the beak of his eloquence,
The crow of my pen, in the name of God, has a noble disposition.
